Let’s talk to Tyler, a Sports Management major with a concentration in Athletic Administration from Cincinnati, Ohio, who will tell us about TU’s competitive spirit. Tyler, pass a deal.

– Thanks to Alex. What’s up guys. Growing up in Cincinnati, I never really know what I wanted to do in my life. And my mom was really big on education and she was trying to get all three of her kids to go to college and make some of their lives. I found the love of education through sports. I traveled to University on a full ride scholarship. After season ending injury with me tearing my hamstring, I was losing the love for the game that kept me pursuing my education. Eventually I entered a transfer reporter in search of a different path. That’s when I heard from Tiffin University’s head coach reaching out to recruit me for the team. I didn’t know what I wanted to do my life, I just know to play football. I was blown away how close knit and family-oriented Tiffin University is. 75% of our campus population is involved in the athletic program. As a senior and a leader on this football team, I’ve seen us do remarkable things. I’ve seen us win back to back conference championships, make the playoffs. Oh, and most importantly, we beat our biggest rivals, twice in a row. Tiffin University has helped me enjoy my academic journey. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the country competing for a great athletic program and acquiring my business degree in sports management. The biggest thing Tiffin University and the athletic program has taught me, in the end is to be the best man or person you can be in the end. And that’s my story. Back to you, Alex.

– Thank you, Tyler. It seems like your competitive spirit for football has made a run for your academic spirit as well. Thanks for sharing your story. When it comes to Tiffin Arts program, Tiffin University is not the traditional music school. TU has built a business side to the music program to commercialize it and bring a management aspect alongside performance.
